South Korean President Park Avoids Impeachment Court Hearing

The Constitutional Court hearing on Tuesday lasted about nine minutes before being wrapped up, as Park had stayed away.
The chief prosecutor at the trail, lawmaker Kweon Seong Dong, questioned why Park did not defend herself in court when just days ago she [URL="http://www.dw.com/en/s-koreas-embattled-president-rejects-accusations-of-misconduct/a-36966998"]rejected accusations of misconduct[/URL] in a meeting with reporters.
"It's not good etiquette to the justices and also inappropriate for the president, as the defendant of the impeachment trial, to say this and that to the media outside of court," Kweon told reporters.
The court had previously ruled that Park was not required to appear for questioning, though it did request that she testify when the hearing resumes Thursday. Some of her current and former aides were also scheduled to testify then. The case will proceed with or without her there.[/quote]

Right now though her power has been forcefully taken away.

Ah ok.

Then she has actually no say in whats going on and she's just acting like a kid who got caught doing something bad.
